President`s Report & today`s results at Atherton GC

PRESIDENT REPORT – ATHERTON GOLF CLUB 20 Aug 19

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford at Atherton Golf Club, there were 81 starters consisting of 67 men & 14 ladies. There were two visitors, Adie & Ron Crispin from NZ who are here for another month or so, welcome back to the far north. The course was in excellent condition although the greens were extremely fast and almost unputtable if you got on the wrong side of the hole and the weather was absolutely perfect.

Many thanks to all the staff at Atherton GC for the presentation of the course but special mention goes to Cheryl for looking after us from go to whoa.

Our sponsor today was the REEF CASINO who provide meal vouchers (very tasty) at the Flinders Bar & Grill inside the Casino, much appreciated by all FNQVGA members.

One of our members got hit in the thigh by an errant tee shot but I have been reliably informed she (Sheriff) is recovering quickly, good to hear Liz.

The committee agreed today to negotiate with Mirage for another game in 2020 hopefully to be held on the last Friday of May at the same price as this year of $35 with cart. When arrangements are finalised this game will be included in our 2020 Program, watch this space.

Next weeks game will be at HALF MOON BAY Golf Club, hope to see you all there.

Robin

President
